San Diego (Vocus) April 22, 2008 – At PETCO green is in and so are the company’s reusable shopping bags, which are a hit with pet parents looking for environmentally friendly solutions for themselves and their animal companions.
PETCO reusable shopping bag
This Earth Day, PETCO and the PETCO Foundation remind all pet-loving customers that by purchasing and using reusable PETCO bags they make a meaningful contribution to protecting the environment – and supporting animals in need.
Since PETCO introduced its reusable shopping bags late last year, customers have purchased more than 25,000 bags at PETCO stores and online. The reusable bags were initially carried only in PETCO’s stores with Natural Food Shops, but due to popular demand they are now available at the more than 900 PETCO stores nationwide and online. The bags are made of recyclable materials that have the look and feel of cloth. They sell for $1.99 – with $1 of the purchase price going to the PETCO Foundation.
“By buying and using reusable bags, PETCO customers make a significant contribution to sustaining the environment and to supporting thousands of local animal welfare groups we work with across the country,” said Paul Jolly, foundation director and vice president.
PETCO stores and PETCO.com also offer a great selection of natural and organic pet foods, and a wide assortment of environment-friendly pet care products, including pet toys, accessories, cat litter and cleaning supplies.
